Backlinks - a right way and a wrong way.

OK, getting backlinks to your site is important, but doing it the right way is increasingly more important.

Over the past few years search engines like google and bing have gotten better at detecting spammed links, spun articles and copied content.

that has caused sites where blogs articles and comments are posted to get better at catching people who post stuff like that...

today I came across half of a blog post on hubpages with a link that said "read more"; which means copied content, a spammed link and an incomplete article. all three are violation of the hubpages terms of service.

I kept an eye on the hub and it was removed within an hour so the whole exercise was a waste of time for the person trying it...

Seriously. Don't spam links or copy content, the benefits will be short lived at best.
